Terry Crews stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday night (July 9) and talked all about being a positive person, growing up in Flint, Michigan, and reveals what happened when Brooklyn Nine-Nine was canceled by FOX but then renewed by NBC.

“It was a shock of a lifetime and I thought ‘oh my god.’ All of us were like ‘oh my god, what do we do.’ It was horrible,” the 49-year-old actor told Jimmy of his initial reaction.

“And then the internet, the internet flipped out. There’s never been a greater example then the difference between Nielsen ratings and what people are actually watching then Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” Terry added. “We were trending #1 worldwide and then less than 30 hours later, we were picked up by NBC.”
